I see so many comments from people saying they’ll jump ship if Google adds this to Chrome. They’ll move over to Firefox right away. But the thing most people don’t know is one reason Google has such a broad reach is they make it so crazy easy to integrate their services for developers.

So, yes, users who dislike what they’re doing should stop using Google products if possible. But, more importantly, developers or project managers, etc. should all resist the urge to utilize this kind of feature even if it’s easy.

I also immediately replaced my weather app. Never heard of this one. Very impressed.

Looks like you can follow communities by pasting their URLs in the search bar on Mastodon. The communities show up as if they’re users, but it looks like you can follow them and I guess reply as you normally would. Like you can follow this community by searching this URL: https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted

I agree it would be nice if the instances would pull in communities automatically instead of us needing to manually search for them. I guess that’ll be something the Lemmy devs do something about in the future. In the meantime, I have been using this site: https://lemmyverse.net/

I also did the Ansible setup.

Are you subscribing to communities? I think searching just pulls something like 20 posts but nothing else. Everything starts getting pulled in when someone subscribes.

I also had some issues with pictures but the problems just kind of resolved themselves. Maybe try resetting the server and see what happens.

Agreed with others on here about Ubuntu. I have one server that I threw a bunch of stuff on and spent many hours messing with the nginx configuration file before everything was working correctly (Nextcloud, another website, and a VoIP thing). Changing the OS won’t make it any easier since the biggest hurdle is getting the configs right…
